93 teggy ls/vtec fouling out plugs. New distributor, new wires, stock cams and gears. timing seems to be off less than a tooth, black build up on plugs but not burning oil. was told that the cams gears were my problem was wondering if this is true or if there is something else i need to look at.

p.s. all 6 sets of plugs were nkg

 

What's your AFR's at? Is it tuned? What ecu/ems are you using?

 

p72 ecu chiped cheap ebay chip

 

i dont know what afr's are i feel dumb lol

 

Ebay chip with what on it? AFR air fuel ratio

 

dont know what my afr is chip has o2 senor delete 8500 redline vtec kicksin a 4500 rpm

 

i have to floor the gas to get it to start and idles like **** . runs ruff sound almost like a
miss

 

I meant what basemap, I careless what features you have. If it's not tuned then you're basically driving with your eyes closed. I would also check your mechanical timing and ignition timing.

 

cam gear off less than a tooth, if i turn it to where the cams are aligned the crank is off towards the front of the car by a few degrees. GSR basemap

 

Mouab sniffed out the problem -- your Ebay chip. Get a proper tune or revert to your original fuel map before you screw up your engine! Who knows what's going on in there...

Edit: Is there a cam timing issue with the LS-V?

 

That's how my timing is currently at as well. If you search my name you would see my thread about the situation. I just left mine at that with both cam gears advanced at +1,+1. I would get a wideband and monitor your AFR's.

 

Nevermind I should just leave it to the experts, lol.

 

Yes there is cam timing issue with lsv's and such. Bambam even stated it in his Thread about building these motors. Proper way is to degree in your cams.

 

If i pull the chip out will it revert back to the original fuel map. i did not ask to have the fuel map adjusted on the chip.

 

mouab18c1....ill try your suggestion tomaro

 

What original map? The features does not have anything to do with your issues. You need an actual tune.

 

right now just trying to get the car run good ie not fouling the crap out of plugs

 

ive been using the wrong term the plugs have not been firing at all. it is killing the plugs.

 

It makes no sense. Whats killing the plugs? Pictures of said plugs?

 

assuming it is stock pistons you need to lean out the AF mixture. you are running a chip that is probably for something with a little more compression easy fix is to get a vafc and a wide band. sorry tuning is the only way to correct it
side not is the exhaust fumes really thick? what pistons and what head and head gasket?
need some more compression to utilize the amt. of fuel for the map.

 

VAFC are garbage. There are better EMS out there now days.

 

agreed but for the cost of a used vafc why not try it just to lean it out at idle.
my reasoning is i put a b20vtec together for a buddy and had almost the same problem, stock b20 block stock milled gsr head and we couldn't even stay in the garage when it was trying to idle (my stock gsr ecu no chip) put a vafc in and leaned it out at idle solved the problem for me but i guess he could go ahead and spend the money and get hondata ect..

 

He does not need Hondata. Crome will do just fine.

I however prefer Neptune Rtp.

 

dont think its the ecu i talk to epic tuninng when i started the built they said the stock gsr p72 ecu was fine. cant take pics camera is broke . plug have a little black build up on them
when i pull them out and put the on the no.1 wire of my crx and ground them the do not fire all. there not wet when i pull them . talk to a guy at the acura dealer he said it was the igniter becase it not oem bought it for advance there web site said OE stile

 

ill try to get pics up
